4:30 a.m.

The first thing that came to mind to blog about (at 4:30 a.m.) was, “I’m hungry.” My pregnancy symptoms definitely came on full force about 13 DPO. 15 DPO was when the I’m-hungry-every-minute symptom began. With my last pregnancy, I didn’t really have many symptoms until about a week into my pregnancy. Neither Brian nor I were ready for everything to happen so quickly.

A symptom I didn’t really have in my last pregnancy, that I do now, is nausea. I get waves of nausea every now and then. I mentioned before that gagging is incredibly common for me (even when not pregnant) but never to the extent that food actually comes up.

Of course, I’m also concerned about miscarrying again. Although I definitely feel more confident this time around, there’s always THE FEAR that sits in the back of my mind. I should though, trust my instincts more often. I find it pretty amazing that I didn’t schedule any consultations on Friday – and even TOLD people I was unavailable – knowing that I would be going to the doctor’s that day. When I got that BFN with the digital, I just knew it wasn’t right.

After work yesterday, I spent much of the day browsing through various TTC blogs. It definitely made Brian and I appreciate what we do have. Although we miscarried in March, we were able to get pregnant again fairly quickly. Whether our fishbaby sticks though, is a completely different story.

I’m excited beyond belief to be pregnant again!
